Girl . History . Istikhara . Marriage . Dream

Should a girl marry a man she has feelings for and a history with, despite his weak religious commitment, especially if her Istikhara and dreams suggest positivity? She has repented and seeks a partner with strong Islamic values but struggles to let go.

She should consider that the most important criteria for a good life partner is religion and manners. Weak religious commitments can lead to possible dangerous results in the life especially after few years. What can stop him in the future from looking for other affairs if his religious commitments are weak?

I don't advise her to marry a person who is weak in his faith and religious practice even if she has feelings and history with him. The feelings will never remain for long if there is no authenticity in faith and trust in religion.

Sunni . Girl . Marriage . Community . Marriage

What should I do if I am marrying a Sunni girl who respects and understands the Ahlul Bait, and her Sunni community is requesting their own Alim to officiate the Nikah?

Bismihi ta'ala

Although the Nikah could be valid, if the correct standards for Islamic marriage contract is observed, it is not a good sign if they "insist" on having their own 'Alim to do it.

If you choose to marry someone outside of your Madhhab, it is very important to have strong ability to manage things. You must be strong enough to have to deal with the issues that arise, regarding your Shi'i beliefs, your rituals, how the house is managed, and the future children.

There are good examples of a Shi'i marrying a Sunni, and both observe the highest level for each other's beliefs. That is how it should be.

However, there are many bad examples and bitter experiences, which is why one must be extra cautious, and not just think about accepting their 'Alim to officiate the Nikah, but also what level of involvement, interference, influence, or intimidation they will have.

Marrying someone from another madhhab is permissible only if one has assurance they will not be influenced, for them and the children as well.

Sunni . Girl . Marriage . Community . Marriage

What should I do if I am marrying a Sunni girl who respects and understands the Ahlul Bait, and her Sunni community is requesting their own Alim to officiate the Nikah?

Sunni Shaikh can recite the Nikah because it is after all a Nikah contract recited by either Shia or Sunni or any one who knows Arabic properly.

The main point is to be sure that she will remain in the future respecting Ahlul Bayt (AS) and will teach your children the teachings of Ahlul Bayt (AS). You are responsible about the future if your children.

Can a financially independent Syed girl who wants to marry a compatible boy to avoid sin proceed with the marriage if she is certain that her father will reject the proposal due to an invalid reason related to not being Syed?

Father is not allowed to reject his daughter's marriage with a compatible believer when she wants to save herself from sin, just because of a cultural reason which is never a condition in Sharia.
